Firefox Custom Toolbar Button - firefox

I am trying to create a firefox toolbar button which when clicked calls (or invokes) TapTip.exe which is the Touch Keyboard for my Windows Tablet. I've tried following this tutorial (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/XUL/Toolbars/Custom_toolbar_button) to get my button to work but no luck so far. Is there anyway I can accomplish this task?

I found a way to due this by using a addon named Custom Buttons for Firefox then I found a Launch IE button which I modified to call TapTip.exe instead of IE

Are there any changes in the WebView related APIs in UWP or UAP Windows app?

I am having a Windows 8.1 supported app, but now it is updated to the UWP/UAP (i.e. Windows 10) app.
After updating the custom URI scheme is not working, On a button click on the web page, we were using "navto://" custom URI scheme and handling were done in a js file. The button action was bind through the anchor tag.
From this approach, we navigate our web pages forward/backward or used to send a user to a particular web page.
But now this js file is being not called on the click of the same button and a System Popup appear saying "You will need a new app to open this navto link". For reference, please have a look at the attached screenshot of the error popup. If anybody is familiar with the issue, please suggest me the solution.
Actually I followed this page to migrating the app https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/misc/migrate-apps-to-the-universal-windows-platform-uwp?view=vs-2015#MigrateCSharp
And also tried other options as well by googling but I haven't got any perfect solution yet.
Thanks

NativeScript open action extensions

Is there way to open the iOS Action extensions from the NativeScript library?
https://developer.apple.com/ios/human-interface-guidelines/extensions/sharing-and-actions/
Basically I'm trying to open a Text file, so I can upload it to iCloud, Dropbox or send it via Email. Basically like the "intent" on Android.
NativeScript implements a function called utils.ios.openFile(this.documents.path + this.fileName) but this is opening a new Windows with a share Button. When I press this button the action extension popup opens. Is it possible to open that popup straightaway?
A TypeScript/Angular solution would be great.
I wrote this plugin. It will open the sharing-and-actions for iOS and on Android an intent.

How to show a menu after clicking on the widget icon?

I am using firefox addon builder (Addon kit 1.7) and I wonder to know if it's possible to show a simple menu like the context menu of firefox just after clicking on the widget icon. I need few hints. Thanks in advance.
I managed to make it work using the MenuPopup package by Yaelle Borghini and uploaded a simple example on the Addon Builder site.
You will have to expand on Yaelle's code to support dynamic modifications of the menu items because it's not fully built in at the moment (though it shouldn't be too hard to add it).
Here's the discussion on the Mozilla forums about how to show menus with the Addon SDK that got me started.
Right now the only option is to hook a panel to a widget and add a menuitem to the panel with html.

How to add a Firebug Lite extension to Internet Explorer 7/8?

I've been trying to figure out how BrowserStack has added Firebug Lite as an extension to IE 7/8 but cannot seem to find anything that does this. See the image below and note how Firebug icon appears as button in the toolbar.
Can anyone tell me how to do this? I know how to add it to my Favorites, but I want the icon to appear in the toolbar along with the other buttons (by going to Tools -> Customize Toolbar)
It's a Browser Helper Object. The development steps are to add the icon, bind the click event to the browser, and inject the script content.

selenium WebDriver not finding elements on a modal

I am using selenium webdriver not straight selenium-rc
I have a modal login prompt that come up when you click the login button. Its just a simple div such as -> that has a few frame containers in it.
I can get selenium to open the modal and selenium can find the modal cause I check to see if it is up so it does no the container is open
enderedWebElement resultsDiv = (RenderedWebElement)driver.findElement(By.className("logincontentcontainer"));
But it cannot find any controls on the modal such as text box or buttons. I have tried looking by name, id, classname.... no luck. firebug see's the controls fine. I have several sleeps to make sure its not a race condition.
I should add the modal that comes up is a container with 2 iframes the controls I need are in 1 iframe what contains a form with the controls on that form. not sure if that matters
Are you switching to the frame before you try to find any elements in it? If you're not, that could be your problem.
driver.switchTo().frame("frameName");
